Your opinions about Einstein@Home
I run "Einstein" in honour of my late Sister - C. Seema De Zwirek (1945-2002) who was fascinated with all things about space and enjoyed speculation about its exploration. She especially loved Star Trek.

This project is not only about proving Einstein's theory about gravitational waves. As speculated in Science Fiction - and in real Science, they may be the key for travelling faster than light and thus making Star Trek a reality - Warp Factor One!

Seema's name is engraved on the pyramid on the Itokawa asteroid. It was successfully placed there by the Hayabusa spacecraft. Seema's name is out there in space for eternity.

Her Memory Is a Blessing.
